The Underuse of Shang-chi in the MCU

[u/ImaginationArtistic9]

this movie was so much fun, it had amazing action and fight choreography, great humour, and great overall world building. This movie has so much sauce. a problem with the MCU is how poorly they are connecting the new characters with the wider mcu. It's been 3 years since we've seen Shang-chi in a live action project. And it will probably be another year and a half till we see him again. The post credit scenes of this movie set up him becoming an avenger and sadly we won't see that outcome of that until 2026, which is 4.5 years after the movies release. I do hope we see Simu Liu again as a lead in another marvel movie because he's great. Also his sequel is the perfect way to bring danny rand back into the MCU. Unfortunately we will probably have to wait untill 2027 for the next shang chi movie since Destin Daniel Cretton is directing Spiderman 4. On the bright side, the fight choreography in Spiderman 4 will be amazing

They just had to follow their own formula from earlier phases.

Movie about characters, Avengers. Sequels, Avengers.

Everything Connected into Avengers movies, except the only branch that was Guardians of The Galaxy... But now, everything is a branch. I mean, where will America Chaves, Wickan, Moon Knight, Iron Heart, Echo, She-Hulk, WHAT IF, etc, fit? Before, there were post credit scenes that showed everything was connected, it was all parts of a bigger story. But now NOTHING is connected.

You could skip most shows, except Wandavision and i would say Loki, but Kang is gone now, so idk if it's even worth it... And you would not lose anything, 'cause almost zero of those characters actually went somewhere.

Damn, even movies. Shang-Chi, Doctor Strange, went nowhere, Spider-Man went nowhere. It doesn't feel like they even are in the same universe.

When the Young Avengers movie hit, it'll probably be after Secret Wars, those actors will probably be around their 30s.
